Does anyone have a form or form component that allows adding a dx code to the patient med list? It is to be used within an office visit encounter not necessary on a prescription.

You can use a combination of MEDS_AFTER and MEL_CHANGE_MEDICATION to accomplish that. You have to use MEDS_AFTER to find the the MID number of the medication to be able to use MEL_CHANGE_MEDICATION. From the help, it looks like the Dx code and Dx description are the 10th and 11th parameters.

Thanks for the information but I still need help. I am doing the following:
I have set up an Update meds button so that the doc can use it and then click on the medication and add a dx in the dx field to the selected medication, then save it as historic information.
The data shows in a data box on the form using the MED_LIST_CHANGES but it only shows the description of the dx but not the code. I am hoping to have the document text in the note, show the MEDS_AFTER information that includes the dx code, no description is needed. If it contains the description, that is fine but I need the code too.
I don't know how to write the MEL for that configuration.
Thanks for your thoughts.
